Being Single Sucks and So Do Men
Wanna know what blows? Being single.More specifically, being a 32 (almost 33) year old divorcee (typing that word makes me want to vomit only slightly less than when I say it), single mom with NO prospects sucks.
As I lay here alone, aside from Peter and Phoebe (the beginnings of my soon to be cat lady collection), now is a good time to remember all of the GOOD things about being single.
In no specific order:
1. I can actually get some decent sleep at night. My ex used to snore so loudly that almost nightly I thought about killing him in his sleep. I'm not even kidding. I used to fantasize about smothering him with his pillow. Yes, it might be a little dramatic, but sleep deprivation at 2 a.m. does crazy things to a woman. Now I want to kill him all of the time ;)
2. No more pubic and/or copious amounts of body hair in the shower.
3. I get Tuesday & Thursday evenings and every other weekend off¯.
4. I can eat cereal for dinner and don't hear the bitching that went a little something like this, "If it's not meat, it's not dinner"¯.
5. I no longer have to scrub the remnants from his explosive ass off of the inside of the toilet bowl (too much information?).
Ah, fuck this list. Who am I kidding, being single sucks.

- Sounds like a typical woman. She can't decide what she wants.
- Being single is far better then being with a total jackass anyday!! You have 1 less person to wait on and clean up after.
- Do you suck?
- Being single does not suck. By choice, I'm on my third year and plan on continuing. You issue isn't with men in general, just the men you were with.
- You are just like all the others, dumb, money-hungry, ugly and you are good for nothing.
- Being single doesn't suck -- if you're unhappy single or married, you're simply unhappy. Its what we choose to do with our singlehood. Its a matter of designing a full-life, rather than staying home and complaining about it.
So, why not take dance lessons on Tues/Thurs, join a single group, start meeting people. Get to know yourself, what you like and dislike about yourself. and make changes. Be the most you can be! Complaining is 1 of 4 relationship busters. divorced.
- Yes Virgina, being single sucks
- It was all about "her." Yet more entitlement mentality. She listed no faults of her own which I am sure would have made for a much longer list than her list bashing her ex.
woman good, man bad. - Let's see hon, you post a screed like this, and wonder why you're still single?
Let me call the Waaaaaahmbulance.
Grow the hell up you immature little girl. - Easy to see why her NO PROSPECTS will only get larger. Maybe she can find mercy with a metrosexual boy.
- I do love it when the promise of Feminism falls flat.
For decades those man-hating bishes have been telling women they can gain the status of men by working. So women have galloped off in Quixote like fashion seeking education and careers while their youth and beauty slipped away.
Now in your thirties it's all down hill from here. You are finding out that men don't give a shit about your job or your money. After all we've got our own. And why would we want to bang some "career" woman with an attitude and a prejudice refined in the best (worst) women's studies classes this country has to offer when there are hot young beauties who have learned that it's better to be beautiful than smart. No doubt a conclusion that could have been avoided had Mommy not dumped or forgone Daddy in pursuit of a career.
And best of all us men can wait it out. You "independent" women will grow old and undesirable while us men get richer and move valuable.
Maybe you should go cry to Gloria Steinem.
Or better yet, why don't you go buy a 50 cent pair of ear plugs! Nah. I think you'd rather whine about becoming an old maid.
--Jean Valje - wow this is harsh. I would stay single rather than risk running into one of these men.
- If a man said the sh*t this lady said he would be called a killer and a woman hater but she can say this stuff and it's called venting. Why do women hate men so much now a days I'm so tired of the bullsh*t!
- Regarding the "Promise of Feminism Falls flat" it is rather harsh but no not all that untrue. Beauty is valued rather highly...at least in America...but prolly everywhere. It won't last forever, or at least will be a hell of a fight. Men are also judged on attractiveness just as harshly...fortunately for us our "attractiveness scale" is not based on looks alone. Money, confidence, stable/ambitious place in the world etc. While men in fact do care about more than looks...if they aren't there then it is a positive deal breaker.
I had an ex-wife who seems similar to the woman who posted. It boils down to a lot of potential things...but a big thing is that women are hard wired to be picky about mate selection as they cannot have tons of children...so if they choose wrong they don't have a lot of chances to make up for it and then they are REALLYYYYYYYY PISSED!!!! and will blame the man (generally). But the larger problem comes from the fact that it is exceptionally difficult for women to turn OFF the hyper selection gene. So AFTER they have picked a mate they are wired to FOREVER continue to evaluate their choice, and that is where the problem lies. So we men think they are being critical.
Sadly, but fortunately for women, we men have been schooled on the "let women bitch and just listen" concept a LOT so we can put up with it for a while. Women do not get enough of the..."Men are also hard wired to spread seed" so let him spread it everywhere in and on you on a regular basis... or he will eventually crack as well." There are women who in fact DO understand that and they are most likely in happy relationships.
You think after a hard day we WANT to spend 40 minutes listening to you whine about the same/petty shit? Sometimes HELL NO!!! But we love you and know that is what you need. So many men do so quite willingly.
Do you think after your long day you want to be bent over and then get facialed????? Sometimes HELL NO!!!!! but you should do it anyway too cause you love your guy.
Our society thinks it is ok for a man to "have" to shut up and listen but the door doesn't swing both ways... when is the last time your mom has said... Hunny, sometimes you have to just shut up and let him blow it in your mouth....right...thought so.
I really think women should consider this and seek out to validate or disprove this...but ignore it at your own peril.
Yes it probably a cruel joke that men are driven to start a family and women are driven to maintain the family. But that is how it is. If we were all willing to let it all out on the table everyone would be happier.
Peace
- Never been married, and reading this has stiffened my spine a bit, to ensure that doesn't change.
Yes, I live a bit like a bear in a cave. I sleep late. I play video games for 8-10 contiguous hours, sometimes more. I drink beer daily. I keep a bottle of Jack under the sink. I even sometimes swear. I don't answer the phone, even when my mother calls. It goes to the machine and I call back, usually. Since most of the time I lounge around the house in my underwear, I never answer the door.
Still, I feel a great empathy for the original author of this rant. There's definitely a price to be paid for being single.
However, that "price" of being single is really only opportunity cost, not actual cost. Whereas getting married incurs an immediate actual cost.
At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. - ^ Fat, acne-spotted nerd gamer with no prospects for ever getting laid.
Don't weigh in if this post doesn't reflect you in any way, loser. - Men, take note, you suck...and the only thing worse than the fact you suck is not being able t o rob you of your money.....
Feminism is nothing but marxism/communism rebranded. It was designed by Marx/Engles to force all women into the work force and to destroy the family. And this stupid woman is one more victim.
If we are to fix out society all men need to collaborate and work together. If you care about your society, join your local Men's Rights group today or go to www.mgtow.com. Men are going to fix this mess...but we need as many men as possible to be educated on the issues and be ready to act when the time comes. - trust me being single mom does suckat times. i am 31, have a good job, people say im beautiful but no dates! what the hell is wrong with men? or am i just really ugly? I attract all the married losers!
- So, let me get this straight. If a woman works, then she's a feminist and should expect to stay single if she is over the age of 30, because she is no longer young or beautiful by our culture's standards.
But if she doesn't want to work, and would have rather stayed home to be a housewife and mother, then she's a money-grabbing parasite.
I don't get it.
I agree with the guy who says feminism is Marxism/Communism, but it will never go back to the way it used to be. Our country is ruined because of so many different reasons, and this is one of them. Women took the jobs away from men; instead of staying home and raising children to be decent people, they have abandoned them to the brainwashing of evil culture, allowing them to grow up into self-centered and selfish adults who act like children and therefor can't have a mature, loving, giving relationship.
People spend more time with their co-workers than they do their own family! It's no wonder that men
and women working together have so many affairs.
Oh well. It will soon be that single men and women will be the norm, and marriage will be obsolete. - I hope so. Marriage is an absolutely obsolete institution. Legitimacy is no longer the issue it once was, and people are enjoying 'shacking up' more and more. Hell, I'm doing it, and I'll never get married again. I don't see the point.
- To The Author: Hang in there. Find out what you like or don't like in yourself/people.
To the posters: my goodness...I am laughing my head off. Maybe it's the twisted side of me, but a good bantering of well placed words makes me laugh even at my own expense. - o surprise you're single PRINCESS - you're post speaks volumes about how pathetic you are
- This really shows just how emotionally needy women are. If this bitch looked half way decent and sucked cock she could pick up some men for sport sex. When I was younger, it was easy to spot the women who just got divorced or dumped in a relationshipship that had a air of neediness about them. If any of these ckicks looked decent it was easy with a nice dinner and some smooth talking to get between their legs in no time at all. Most of the time I was sharp enough to dump their needy ass before their drama filled lives overwhelmed me. I suspect a lot of women find themselves in this situation. They are in a relationship then get dumped and then are desparate for another. They soon find themselves in a cycle fo being fucked and chucked. Perhaps the problem with these women is simply poor self-esteem.
- Being alone sure sucks, don't it? Better you than me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
- And I suppose your ex used to complain all the time that your thighs were 'just' a little too big, that that dress made you look fat, that your breasts weren't big enough, that you didn't do shit around the house.............etc, etc......?
- You want to KILL him? and you wanted to kill him even when you were married to him? Gee... fricking surprise you're single!!! Treat the next man that comes around like that and you might as well keep frequenting your local animal shelter and invest in some of that multi-cat litter!
Your story is just ridiculous!! I feel like a little bit of my brain died just reading it. - Let's see. It sucks to be single and you hate men.
Maybe it is you that sucks - you go girl
- If U were Unhappy while involved, and U are Unhappy single, sounds like your cup runneth over with UNHAPPINESS! There is sadness inside you. Dont allow self pity to devourer you concious state.
You are searching for love in all the wrong places. I dont know where you're looking but a small tip: Bypass the next exit that spells clean my stained sh*t splatter out the toilet bowl , and collect a free pass to start anew today!
The fact you would rather clean his deficating stank out a porceline crap pot than be a free spirited woman that loves herself unconditionally and one who would rather choose a mate that cleans his own waste say a lot about your esteem! Dont blame him-Look within dear! *100% Woman* - I'm in the same boat as you, I'm a 35 year old single man, and it sucks for us too. But let's compare lists on why it's actually good for us to be single:
1. I now have more than 3 inches of space in the medicine cabinet for my razors, shaving cream, toothpaste, deodorant, ect..ect..
2. I no longer have to wait 2 to 3 hours to get in the bathroom to get ready for work.
3. It's a lot more fun to have my friends be able to come over, instead of just her friends.
4. I can enjoy a beer every now and then, not worrying that she'll dump it all out when I'm at work because her father had a drinking problem.
5. No longer do I have to sit through another episode of Desperate Housewives or Sex in the City, hell I don't ever have to watch "Friend's" again either.
6. I can watch a ballgame now if I want to!!! Yay!!!
7. Don't have to deal with her "on welfare because I had a bastard kid with a black guy from Nigeria who promptly packed up and went back home as soon as he found out I was pregnant" white trash sister. (Again, great move Emily)
8. Don't have to make her car payments and give her gas and insurance money because she was "too emotional about her life" to go to work for months at a time.
9. Don't have to listen to her mom tell me what a piece of shit I am because I refused to pay for her daughter's trip to Hedonism with her loser sister and 2 friends. (yeah, can you actually believe the bitch ASKED me for money to go to some island resort just to SCREW black guys???? Again, great job Emily!)
10. Now I may have the slight possibility of finding a good woman, who wants to have a family, and MAYBE I can be her equal..........that is if she will allow it. But I'm not holding my breath on that one. - am 34
i am single
been single my whole life
i have never been on one date
no guy has asked me out
doesnt help i cant have kids
doesnt help i am ugly and fat
i used to be just ugly
there is no one out there for me
but also i am not going to waste time looking
again i will waste time searching for a person who realistically may not exist and most like wont
but i am not content with being single
i am not ok with never dating
and hell no am not ok with never getting married
i dont give a damn about circumstance and what not
most people dont get denied this
and i will not be denied
i am 34 for gods sake
i have never dated
and i am mad beyond angry about this
there maybe no price charming
but guys need to get most gals are not supermodels!!!!!!!!!
and the guys who want the are assholes!! - I feel bad for people who are unhappy about being single but it's actually a nice life. At least for me.
Please allow me to explain:
I am a twice-divorced, 42 year old man. I had my a$$ handed to me by the family courts. I am beyond broke. Broke would imply I have nothing. I have much less than that because I owe so much to my exes.
I will go to prison if I can't pay.
Why so happy then? Because I am free. No more accounting to somebody else for every second of my day. Nobody checking my emails and and phone bills. Nobody telling me my friends are no good or my interior decorations suck and need to go. No more telling me where to put the toilet seat.
I do what I want, when I want. Even though I am financially enslaved by my exes, I feel like a free man.
My advice to all the younger guys out there: Feel free to skip the marriage part and the financial enslavement part. Go directly to the free man part.
In other words, don't get married.

Typical gender-feminist male hater.
Go stuff your stinky cunt with a dead skunk's ass, you may be more approachable to the many great men that do live today.
- More and more of you women need to get use to being single not having man to complain about. Marriage and/or long-term relationships with women (particularly American women) is simply a bad deal for many men. We don't need to be tied in with a drama filled life of most American women. More and more men have found out that they are better off trying to live their lives rather than finding that "special someone" who is non-existent.
- Who are you people? All of you are beyond nutso, wish It I.d.ed you with a stamp on your forehead for women AND men to save the world more grief- Broken and bitter- ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh
- What a lot of lonely boys with lotion there are out there, huh? Leave the lady alone unless you in some way identify with the exploding, snoring asshole she was married to.
Anyone can see that while she is pleased to be rid of the negative aspects of her former marriage, their is some natural ambivalence. Marriage is a sword with two edges.
The men are not all good or bad and neither are the women. This juvenile BOY vs. GIRLS mentality on this site sometimes is ridiculous!
Real men love and are unthreatened by women. And real women love and are unthreatened by men.
There are just some PEOPLE regardless of gender out there that are not fit for marriage. Some times good people make mistakes and marry the wrong mate. It is hurtful and challenging for all involved--especially the children!
If being single is lonely and "sucking" for you, you have to pick yourself up, get out and create a new life. There are far worse states for a woman to (or a man) to be in than being single. Being trapped in a marriage with someone who does not treat you with Love, Compassion, Regard & Respect is VERY painful.
Do not let your alone-time cause you to forget.
I have been divorced for years now. I am just now getting to where I am open to even contemplating re-marriage. I have enjoyed being single and have earned several degrees and written two books. Men still find me attractive and I can choose from the best of the best to date. So can you!
Be careful. Be selective and give these men a chance to show you that they are not all the same.
And when you read 3 words of a post on this site and you can see that a negative, hurtful person is writing--SKIP IT!
Same as when you go out on a date and notice that the man is not right for you. Remain calm and pleasant if possible and simply do not go out on any further dates with him.
Learn to say NEXT!
Being single doesn't SUCK---sucky people SUCK!
Good Luck! - WTF people, I thought this was a place to rant / vent. If that's how she felt at the time, why couldn't she say it?
- I was married. I got two sons out of it so it was worth it. Now I'm single with 50/50 custody and don't have to pay the ex-wife a dime. It is freaking awesome. I just wish I had even more custody time.
Bottom line is that today's modern woman is only good for one thing. I only need her for one thing period. I can earn my own money and take care of my own meals and clean my own house. I can parent my sons just fine without any assistance from her.
I only need a woman for one thing. Luckily, these desperate, no morals having women are flooding the market with that one thing. You don't have to date them for a long time to get what you need. You sure don't have to marry them.
Life is good.
